Welcome to the Yahoo Group for Drum Circle Facilitators!

Discuss everything under the sun about drumcircles here. We have a huge membership from all over the globe with a special focus on drum circle facilitation (DCF).

If you don't know what drum circle facilitation means then, once you join, please read the archives and watch the messages for a while before jumping in - so you can get an idea of what we're all about.

Email the group at DrumCircles@yahoogroups.com

You can ask questions of, share experiences with, and offer advice to, all the other members of the group. It's an unmoderated group, which means that your messages and replies go straight to the list. Do please delete all but the text you're replying to before you press "Reply" *.

Most of us have read the book by, and/or trained with, Arthur Hull who - er - wrote the book(s)! [Drum Circle Spirit, 1998: ISBN 09416 77842; and Drum Circle Facilitation, 2007: ISBN 09724 30717].

Many people were - and are - doing facilitation without having heard of Arthur Hull, but he helped to give us a language to describe the things that happen in all facilitated drum circles and, inevitably, we use quite a lot of what might seem like jargon when talking to each other. Reading the books will help you understand both what we're about, and what we're talking about.

In an effort to save our members from the many worms and viruses infecting the net these days we DO NOT ACCEPT ATTACHMENTS.

* Feel free to email the list moderators at drumcircles-owner@yahoogroups.com with questions about your membership and group netiquette (and be patient for a response). And feel free to email the whole group with your drumming/facilitating questions at DrumCircles@yahoogroups.com.

WELCOME EVERYONE!!

and remember...

Life's a dance - and we play the music for it!
